Ingredient Review
Our review of Nutro Hearty Stew Turkey begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Turkey. Turkey is an easily digested meat that’s relatively low in fat. In pet food, turkey might be the primary protein source or it may be part of a blend made with different proteins.
The second ingredient is Pork Broth. Pork broth is made by boiling pork meat and bones to obtain nutrients including fat, vitamins, and minerals. In pet food, pork broth increases moisture and improves flavor.
The third ingredient is Chicken Broth. Chicken broth is made by boiling chicken meat, skin, and bones to obtain nutrients including fat, vitamins, and minerals. In pet food, chicken broth increases moisture and improves flavor.
The fourth ingredient is Chicken Liver. Chicken liver is one of a few organ meats that come from a chicken. In pet food, chicken liver serves as a source of protein, iron, and amino acids.
The fifth ingredient is Sweet Potatoes. Sweet potatoes are added to pet food as an easy-to-digest source of grain-free and gluten-free carbohydrates. They contain high levels of fiber, along with a number of important vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
When we analyzed the ingredients in Nutro Hearty Stew Turkey, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.

For this reason, somelarge dog breed foods may contain joint health ingredients like glucosamine and omega fatty acids. The risk of bloat is also much higher for large breed dogs, and this risk can be reduced with large kibble size and foods with a lower fat content.
